A Singular Literary Coincidence.

Pail Mall Gazette: We hear so much in
these days OF literary condolences, re.
semblances and plagiarisms. that when
Mr.. Irving produces Watt Phillips

striking similarity between the closing
scene and the last pages of Dickens
Tale of Two Cities" is certain to be re-
marked In each is presented man
who, in the very hopelessness of his love,
substitutes himself on the guillotine dur
ing during the terror tor one sentenced
by the revolutionary tribunal; and the
interest eliminates in both with the
counting of the numbers of the con-
demncd.
But the coincidence is the more marked
because of the similarity of the dates at
which the drama anl the novel SAW light
The Dead Heart was produced at the
Adelphi on Thursday, the 10Th of Novem
ber, 1879; the number of All the Year
Round which contained the last chapters
Of "A Tale OF Two Cities bears the date
OF Saturday, the Both OF November, 1859.
From the circumstances of publication, II
for no other reason, it is practically I'M
possible for Dickens to have copied from

Art. VII, of the Constitution and laws of
the Knights of Labor, says:
mo strike shall be entered into or
authorized until every possible effort has
been made to settle the difficulty, by ar
bitratlon." Now, while claiming to act
under charter of Knights of Labor, but
wholly disregarding and in opposition
to the above section, the Painters and
Paper Hangers have inaugurated strike
without having made the slightest at
tempt to get the matter settled by arbit.
ration, but on the contrary. have steadi-
ly refused the proposition we made them
to arbitrate the difficulty, which PROPOSE
ton was published in the Daily Papers of
May 1th, and given to their committee
the evening before. Will you sustain
your constitution and laws and the prin-
ciple of arbitration for which you so
strenuoIsly contend, or will you sustain
the striking Painters and Paper Hangers ?
You cannot do both. Respectfully, H.

DEATH BY DROWNING.
Native Diver Fails TO Rise to the
Surface Near the LEkeIike Wharf.

On Monday morning while the steamer
Likelike was being loaded, the bottom of
a case OF corrugated iron gave out and
the contents fell into the sea. A diver
named Hull, well known along the
wharves, was hired to recover the lost
iron. He dove several times and came
/ up with some of the iron, and then went
down again for more. Not making his
| appearance as promptly as usual, his
mate Friday went down to see what was
the matter, and after a few seconds re-
turned with the lifeless body of Hull.
The body was taken to the Sta
ton House. Marshal Kaulukou at once
instructed DIR. Trousseau to examine the
man, which he did, giving the following
certificate
Hon. ]. L. Kaulukou, Marshal of the
Kingdom-Sir: According to your instruc-
tions l have made this morning, at 10
o'clock, the examination of a dead native
at the Station House. Name, Hull; race
Hawaiian; sex, male; age, about 35;
height, 5 feet inches; cause of death,
drowning in salt water.
The native, Hull. apparently of a strong
constitution, was engaged in diving at the
Likelike wharf about 7 o'clock this morn
ing After rising several times he finally
failed to do so, and some natives made
search for him and found his body after a
search of half an hour or SO.
The probability is that the deceased over
taxed his endurance in diving and was not
able to rise again.
There are no marks on his body, and as
the submersion had lasted too long for any
possibility of resurrection, no attempts
were made to that effect. Respectfully
submitted, G. TROUssEAU, NJ. D.
Hull was about As years of age, and
we'll known as the leader of the riots on
the Queen Emma side, February II,
1874. He ran away to Koolau, but two |
weeks later returned and gave himself |
up to Police Justice Dayton, who was
Deputy Marshal at that time. He was
tried for participation in the. riots and |
sentenced to five years imprisonment. |
After he had served three years and ten
months he was pardoned, but his civil |
rights were not restored. He was a
powerful man, and latterly had made
his living by diving. The remains We're
inferred yesterday afternoon.
